The annual summer wildfire season had started a month early. "Climate change is here, we are living the consequences and it is only the start of July," said French fire service Colonel Eric Belgioino. #ExtremeWeather

We have a chance to ban oil and gas donations from Westminster - permanently. I've just sent a letter to my MP asking them to support an amendment to the Representation of the People's Bill, will you do the same? share.nwmd.social/s/zHUoMpeK

Make it make sense. Animal agriculture uses around 80% of global agricultural land but provides ONLY 18% of global calories and 37% of protein. 🤯

Now that millions of electric vehicles have been on the road for a decade or more, we have the data to check in on how their batteries are holding up. Quite well, it turns out.

Not only are groceries way more expensive, people are reporting food going bad almost immediately. Now on top of everything else there's a outbreak in 20 states making some people sick enough to be hospitalized? Who knew gutting the FDA would cause so many problems. 😒

MORE ARRESTS Following the arrest of Rev Sue Parfitt, police confiscated the megaphone 📢 But that didn’t stop people speaking out! This brave woman followed a number of arrests and defied the unjust ban on Palestine Action on its one year anniversary. www.wedonotcomply.org

Agree entirely, ‘autobesity’ is out of control, cars and SUVs are dangerously oversized, especially in a city such as Paris. Get these luxury tanks off the road.

The Fourth of July fireworks display in the capital impacted the amount of fine particulate matter in the atmosphere.

The orange felon blames mail-in voting, immigrants and felons for destroying America, yet he marries immigrants, he votes by mail and he’s a convicted felon. Funny how that bullshit hypocrisy works.

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

📉 "The Climate Change Committee estimates that reaching net zero by 2050 will cost £4bn a year – a 73% drop from its estimate five years previously." 👏 "That amounts to just 0.2% of GDP and the savings it will generate are so great that by 2040 net zero will be a net benefit to the economy."

The NHS was founded 78 years ago today. It was built after the devastation of the Second World War when the country was bankrupt - but when the people demanded a society built on fairness and dignity for all. Today, we must defend the right to healthcare and rebuild our social security system.

Why put solar panels on green space when we could put them over car parks?

For the first time ever, from April 2025 to April 2026, solar energy outproduced ‘natural gas’ in Asia. First coal, now ‘natural gas’… the fossil fuel dominos are falling… and they said it cant be done…

Just a few factoids about the color of today’s fireworks.

Switzerland mandated in 2023 that all new buildings exceeding 300 square metres of roof area must install solar panels covering a minimum percentage of that surface — the most aggressive building-integrated solar mandate in continental Europe #ActOnClimate #SolarPower #Renewables

With Keir Starmer resigning, a new PM is moving into No.10 soon. Let's make sure a message from us is waiting on their desk on day one! We need a wealth tax on the super-rich to fund housing, health, and our communities. Add your name so they can't ignore us you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...

Britain’s voting system is broken. 150 MPs are backing an amendment to finally review it. We have until 14 July to convince even more to add their names. I've just emailed mine using this tool. Can you contact yours too? actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

The future of our planet depends on people willing to stand up for science and the truth. I’m so grateful to the scientists who walked to D.C. to deliver letters demanding action on climate change.

A stronger relationship with Europe means a stronger Britain, and the choices we make now will shape Britain's place in the world for generations to come. Our future lies with Europe #RejoinEU

Got this tidbit from my electric utility today - my electric usage last week totaled $0. I used AC. I did laundry. Charged my car. Cooked food. Ran the dishwasher. The solar panels on my roof worked overtime in the hot sun.

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

Beavers: 1. Flooding: 0. Our West London Beavers are still helping reduce flood risk and restoring nature, all while growing their family - with more kits born this year. Any name suggestions for the new arrivals? 👀

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.

The math on nuclear energy really doesn't make sense anymore. "...the average cost of building new wind and solar facilities ordered this year by Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator is about 70 per cent lower than the estimated cost of a new large-scale nuclear power plant."

The fastest way to get money back into the economy is to extend snap & social security to every family and force wage increases and to not raise the interest rate until wages come up I'll bet he does the thing he shouldn't do Based on 80 yrs of evidence

Blatant lobbying, not for the sake of our country, but for the fossil fuel industry, in which almost all the ultrarich - including, in all likelihood, the proprietors of these newspapers - are heavily invested. These people are not and never will be your friends. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...

Infinite growth on a finite planet is a physical impossibility.

📢 The third reading of the Representation of the People Bill has been announced for 14 July! This means we have just under two weeks to convince as many MPs as possible to back the amendment for a review of the UK's broken voting system. Email your MP today: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

Stock trades by President. The blatant corruption is just staggering

We Completely Support This! Do it Massie….

Dear republikkans, if you don't like the diversity of this country, then leave.

Trump made more than $1bn from crypto in first year back in office. High office is now the key to personal and family riches. Former US President Harry Truman once said: "Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I'll show you a crook."

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

Ocean surface temperatures just hit record highs. The implications for weather patterns, global climate, and marine life are alarming, to say the least.

Something deeply troubling & shocking is happening at Exeter University*, where a mass cull of staff is planned, even though it's in surplus. No good justifications given. @jamesgdyke.info provides the details: www.technosphere.earth/the-bonfire-... *Disclosure: I have a Visiting Fellowship here. +🧵

Ever the relentless liars….

This is HUGE: In 2025, renewables were the LARGEST source of global energy supply growth, with solar delivering 71% of that rise. The energy system is tilting towards clean power. Now governments need to double down and turn this surge into a real break‑up with fossil fuels.
